Chandler police are looking for a 6-year-old Hispanic boy who they believe was abducted by his father after school. The father does not have legal custody of his son, and authorities believe he may attempt to take the child out of state.

Zion Bara is 3 feet, 6 inches tall, approximately 60 pounds, and was last seen wearing a red polo shirt and dark blue shorts. According to Chandler police, he was checked out of a school in the Chandler Unified School District at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday.

Daniel Bara, the boy’s father, is a 36-year-old Hispanic male, about 5 feet 4 inches tall, with black hair, brown eyes and no front teeth. According to authorities, he has several tattoos, including his last name on the fingers of one of his hands and right shoulder as well as a tattoo of the Grim Reaper on the left side of his chest. He was last seen driving a red, 1991 two-door Acura bearing the Texas license plate V83WKY.

Authorities said Bara has no legal custody of his son and hadn’t seen the boy for three years. He could face charges of custodial interference.

Officials believe Bara may be taking the child to Lubbock, Texas, where he is known to live with his sister.

The Chandler Police Department is encouraging anyone with information about this case to call (480) 782-4130.
